Paul Morris, Cinderford director of rugby, said: “Nathan has played a lot of good level rugby.

“He will compete with Tom Bozzard and Sam Baker for the hooking berth and that competition will be good for all concerned. It is good quality depth in a vital position.

Taylor is originally from Burton-on-Trent and played his junior rugby at Burton RFC. He attended Hartpury College and was part of the team that were National Two South champions in 2014 as well as the captain of the Hartpury BUCS side that won the BUCS Championship at Twickenham in the same season.

Morris added: “He throws in well, scrummages well and is good around the park.

“He is a competitive character who offers additional leadership and we believe he will help to drive up the standards within our group. He is not here to rest on any reputation he has previously gained.”

The hooker also played for the Gloucestershire senior team in the 2014 County Championship when Cinderford boss Morris was head coach.
